Gregorski said:Forgive the ignorance, but I don't have digital. Is BBC1 on freeview different to BBC1 terrestrial analogue then ?
Rob20 said:I suppose the ultimate question regarding a 15:9 ratio is whether it actually matters!?
cerebros said:If the screen crops the sides of the picture off, I'd say yes. If it just adds small black bars above & below a 16:9 picture I'd say no
D J Fryer said:I would imagine it is incredibly simple to include it as an option in a menu though, after all many people like to zoom images on CRT to get rid of black bars...........
nigel said:I suppose that if such a screen was set up so as to overscan laterally, by the amount normal for all TVs, but to not overscan AT ALL vertically, then you'd get a more or less undistorted image, not missing anything that you wouldn't miss anyway, and gaining a bit top and bottom.
